Los Angeles City Councilman Kevin de León was giving out presents to kids at a tree-lighting celebration in Lincoln Park on Friday when a group of protesters showed up. Things escalated from there ... MatthewStieb writes
At the meeting that preceded Friday’s confrontation, Reedy was among the demonstrators who showed up with his 5-month-old in a harness strapped to his chest. As the protesters shouted, Reedy put headphones over his child’s ears and yelled, “Get him out of chambers right now!” The new council president called for a recess as police officers removed Reedy and others from the room. When the meeting resumed, de León was gone.
Neither de León nor Reedy was willing to admit wrongdoing. “Not only has Kevin de León lost all political legitimacy, his claims that he was the one attacked here simply underscores how he’s lost touch with reality,” Reedy’s lawyer said in a statement. “My commitment is solid to my community, to my constituents,” de León said. “I’m not going to let a group of extremely hostile individuals from outside the district bully me or my staff or my constituents.”Daily news about the politics, business, and technology shaping our world.
